Flood Water Safety. Turn Around Don’t Drown.

July 1, 2022

Flooding can be the most dangerous part of a storm. NEVER drive through flood waters.

6 inches of moving water is powerful enough to carry away a full grown adult.

12 inches of moving water can carry away a car.

18-24 inches of moving water is enough to carry away most trucks.

Turn Around Don’t Drown
